PAPER-ROLL MOUNTING.

Application filed October 25, 1919. Serial No. 333,331.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. REEDY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Paper-Roll lvlountings, of which the following isa specification.

This invention, pertaining to improvements in the mountings of the rollsof paper making machines relates to a provision for permitting the easyrotation of the roll and for its ready removal from and replacement inits support.

The improvement will be readily understood from the followingdescription taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in whichFig. 1 is a side elevation of one end of a roll, its support appearingin vertical Section in the plane of line 1 in Fig. 3:

Fig. 2 a side elevation of a roll support: and

Fig. 3 an end elevation of the mounting, or roll-support, half appearingin vertical section in the plane of lines 3 of Figs. 1 and 2.

In the drawing 1 and 3, indicate planes of section in the drawing, whichplanes have been referred to:

4:, one end of one of the rolls, felt-roll or paper roll:

5, an end journal-piece of the roll:

6, the support for the bearing of the roll:

7, the usual shank projecting down from the support (3 and adapted to bereceived in the usual socket in the frame of the machine:

8, a removable cap secured to the support, over the journal:

9, a ball-bearing cooperating between the journal-piece and the supportand the cap, one member of this ball-bearing being fast on thejournal-piece, the outer member being seated, non-rotary, in the supportand its cap:

10, a removable plug in the cap over the ball-bearing:

11, a flange formed in the support and cap, between the ball-bearing andthe roll, and loose with reference to the journalpiece:

12, a similar flange formed on the support anlcll its cap, between theflange 11 and the ro 13, a recess in the support and cap, betweenflanges 11 and 12:

13, recesses in the support and its cap, at each side of theball-bearing:

14k, a drain-hole communicating with the lower portion of recess 13:

15, upwardly presenting shoulders on the exterior of cap 8, one shoulderat each of the sides of the cap: and

16, spring catches secured to the support and engaged over the shoulder15, and displa ceable therefrom.

The inner member of the ball-bearing is to be fast on the journal-piece,while the outer member of the ball-bearing is to be held, non-rotary,but removable in the support and cap. Lubricant introduced into thesupport through the hole closed by plug 10, finds its way into recesses13 and to the balls.

Surplus lubricant may flow past flange 11, and find its way out throughthe drainhole, without finding its way to the roll where it may proveinjurious.

By releasing the latch-springs, the cap may be removed, after which theroll, with the entire ball-bearing structure, may be removed from thesupport.

The shank of the support is cylindrical.

and is to fit and be adjustable in its socket in the machine frame, asusual.

I claim 1. A paper-roll mounting comprising, a roll having a projectingjournal-piece, a ball-bearing having its inner member fast with saidroll, a support and cap enclosing and supporting the ball-bearing withits outer member held against rotation, the support having a recess ateach side of the ball-bearing, and a removable plug closing an oil-holecommunicating with said recesses, combined substantially as set forth.2. A paper-roll mounting comprising, a roll having a projectingjournal-piece, a ball-bearing having its inner member fast with saidroll, a support and cap enclosing and supporting the ball-bearing, thesupport and cap being provided with a recess at the side of theball-bearing between the hail-bearing and the roll and With a secondrecess between the first mentioned recess and the end of the roll, anoil-hole in the cap in communication with the first mentioned recess,and a drain-hole communicating with the last mentioned recess, combinedsubstantially as set forth.

3. A paper roll mounting comprising a r011 having a 131016Ct111gourna1'p1ece, a ball hearing having its inner member mounted upon saidjournal piece, a support and cap JOHN H. REEDY.
